    1. Does that make a pension akin to a reparation payment?

      Has someone informed Tom Brady he is a slave? I feel sorry for the guy. All that throwing a ball around, women hanging off every body part, millions in the bank! Sure sucks to be a slave.

  1. Wherein the “slaves” put themselves up for sale, and benefit massively from life-altering revenue. Yeah, EXACTLY like a slave auction.

  2. Boyce Watkins got the stupid gene. Poor guy. Because you can fix racism but you can’t fix stupid.

    1. He is just mad that he didn’t get a “football player” gene, and won’t make the big money draft picks get.

  3. Those drafted are likely to get “Wealth” out of the deal, and since, according to this muppet, “Wealth is power”, they are also gaining power, so where is the actual problem?

  4. My sister and I noted this a long time ago in that there is the draft for players every year – much like a slave auction. I was gobsmacked some time back when I read that the average player in the CFL only plays for 3.5 years. The public always hears about the rich players, such as Tom Brady, but there are many who labor and only do “OK”. Back in the 1970’s, Canadian football players would have a spring/summer job as salesmen to augment their incomes and provide a fallback for when their playing days were over.
    Do not misunderstand me, I still think the players have a pretty sweet life, but it is definitely a short career as is all physical careers – such as dancers (10-15 years max), other athletes and circus performers. But hey, you are doing what you love to do.

  5. No, the NFL Draft is FAR FROM a slave auction. And as a UC Berkeley graduate … Dr. Harry Edwards had plowed this infertile ground decades ago. He taught a SRO class titled “The Sociology of Sport”

    But I’ll tell you what ABSOLUTELY IS a slave auction! It’s called Letter of Intent Day in NCAA Football and Basketball. College sports that are a multi-multi-Billion dollar industry. An industry in which the workers, err “student athlete” players receive; room, board, and a rudimentary lesson in English. The NCAA absolutely is a modern day plantation that exploits slaves.

    But why is this extra-constitutional travesty allowed to persist? Because the primary benefactor is our hardcore leftist institutions of (supposed) higher learning. That is why the FREE NFL Farm System is allowed to exploit the health and wealth of these young men. Because Leftists PROFIT. Big Time. As does the NFL.
